Compared to Asana, Microsoft might have a better chance of utilizing and integrating AI for improved functionality. I'd rate the solution found out of ten.

The solution's notifications and integration supports remote collaboration by updating the team on how the project is moving ahead. You can integrate Asana with Microsoft Teams. You can set up the alerts, which is very beneficial for getting updates. Project management covers the whole delegation and accountability portion of Asana. It tells us when a particular subpart of the project was assigned to a person and when it was moved to the next phase. We are working with the software version of Asana. The solution's delegation and tracking features are very beneficial, considering that we work in a hybrid model. Sometimes we are in the office, and sometimes we are not. It helps a lot when you don't have to chase people, and you can directly refer to Asana's board and understand what's going on. Asana has completely adapted to the evolving needs of our projects over time. Our focus while implementing the solution was mainly to cover the project management of our teams by ensuring the stages and required alerts. We ensured that the dashboards were up to mark during our planning conversations. These things were considered while doing the implementation. I would recommend Asana to other users based on their use cases. Users looking for a project management and collaboration tool should choose Asana. Overall, I rate Asana a nine out of ten.

I am using the latest version of Asana. I was not involved with the solution's setup, but I was involved in onboarding the users, which was very easy. I have contacted Asana's technical support with questions on how to do advanced things. Asana provides you with extensive documentation and documentation on the API so you can develop your custom integrations. The more people use Asana, the easier it is to collaborate, and you will reduce a lot of messaging, email back and forth, and all those not-very-smart things that take a lot of time. Anyone who is considering using Asana should maximize their potential. Asana has many features like approvals, workflows, and automation, and it's best to spend some time learning them. We were forced to take two hours of our time to learn how to use Asana, and it's a life savior. You can see people using Asana like any other tool, and then you have advanced users who utilize all the potential and boost productivity. You can really tell the people who are proficient with Asana in terms of productivity. Overall, I rate Asana ten out of ten.
Since Asana is a cloud system, we always use the latest version of the solution. Users can go ahead with Asana because it's easy. It's a stable and scalable solution that has all the functions you need for your project management. The solution can save your progress when you are offline so that you can find everything when you're back. This feature can be helpful when you have internet issues. Overall, I rate Asana a nine out of ten.

To those planning to use Asana, I would say there are many similar applications. It can be hard to choose from applications like monday.com, Asana, ClickUp, and others since they are all good for collaborative project management for smaller projects, which have not quite reached the level in terms of capabilities to manage very large projects. I have managed projects ranging from 25 million USD to 50 million USD, and I feel Asana cannot operate at that level. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
I'm willing to work. However, if I don't get my requests, it means there's nothing I'm doing. The solution is suited for companies with less number of employees. For bigger companies that have around 50 employees, it won’t work because we will have to create many teams, and everything is on that interface. We will have to understand how to navigate. The product is suitable for someone who is used to applications and can easily understand how the features work. The product is difficult for customer support or salespeople who are not into programming. Overall, I rate the product a five out of ten.
It would be beneficial for users to take some time to consider the different types of projects they have across various categories and to create those categories before inputting the projects. This way, the system will be more organized and easier to search. If projects are simply added as individual items without any categorization, managing them can become overwhelming. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Conducting a few workshops on how to use Asana can be beneficial in helping individuals understand its functionality. Once the framework is established, the process becomes more manageable, and it's easier to identify and address any bottlenecks or issues that may arise. Overall, once the system is set up and tested, using Asana should be seamless without any significant hurdles. I rate Asana an eight out of ten.
If you are looking for a minimalist tool that is flexible and offers a to-do list and project management, I would recommend Asana. If they want something more structured and integrated with an extended SDLC tool set, I would recommend Jira instead. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

I'd recommend the solution to others. It's very useful and the interface is easy to use. As with any program, you need to get used to it, however, and maybe I'm just not used to it yet. Maybe they use notification alarms that I am missing or maybe they can be set. That's the biggest issue for us right now. In any case, the way it's set up, it's really nice. You can mark items as complete and you can mark is in progress. It's simple. I would rate the product eight out of ten. If the alerts and notifications were better, I would rate it higher.

If you wanted to use it for the first time, my suggestion would be to consider the kind of projects you are managing. If you are managing marketing projects or events, or you are just trying to coordinate projects that have a quick turnover, and not very long life cycles, then you can evaluate Asana and get a trial going. It'll be good for you. However, if you're managing IT projects or projects with very long life cycles, such as construction or engineering-type projects, Asana definitely isn't a choice for you. Therefore, first and foremost, consider what your projects are about, and if it aligns with short-term marketing projects, you can go ahead and spin up a trial. To have a trial, build out a project yourself and try it out and understand what you like and what you don't like. Of course, it's going to have your task management and your assignee. That's going to be great, but you should also think about the proofing, reporting, and automation that you might want. I encourage people evaluating project management tools to at least look at three or four tools because they all have got specific nuances that make them a little different, and you might like one nuance over another, but evaluating your project type is the first step. I'm going to rate Asana a six out of ten. Asana is probably going to be more like an eight or a nine for you if you're managing marketing projects, or you're an events coordinator, or you're just trying to get your little startup together where you are a 20-person organization, and you want to organize people and need something that's easy to use. However, if you're someone like myself who's more an advanced project manager, and you're working on tech projects or long-term and more complex projects that have dependencies and require some advanced reporting for your executives to take a look at, then Asana might be a four or a five. Therefore, I'll give it the middle range of a six because it's not a bad tool. It just has to be right for you.

I work with Asana five minutes a week, but not in-depth like some of my other colleagues. For our needs today, Asana is doing what it intends to do. I don't know how more we can push it, because we're not really leveraging it for its whole capacity. We haven't reached out to their technical support team because we didn't have a need. My usage of the tool is extremely limited, so I don't have much expertise to give advice to anyone looking into implementing Asana. I'm rating Asana eight out of ten, based on my experience.
I'm a customer and an end-user. We are using the latest version of the solution. I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. We're pretty happy with it overall. I'd advise those considering Asana to go in with a plan. If you have a plan, it makes it easier to implement it. Don't just try and create it. Have a plan of what you want to organize, and it makes it very simple. As long as you've got a plan, it's an easy product to use.
I would advise others to get into team training. It is not a one-man show. It should be a team exercise. I would recommend it, but it needs a lot of support. The outcome can be very great, but it needs a lot of support. I would rate it a six out of 10.

The key to successfully utilizing this project management tool is to be very clear about how it is set up, to have someone in charge of creating projects to avoid duplication and to have some ground rules around the configuration. Otherwise, it could inevitably turn into a bunch of individual task lists. There are many individual to-do list apps available, as such you don't need an app like this for that. It all comes down to being very clear. This is a project collaboration app for teams, and for a team to collaborate on a project, there must be general agreement on what the project is, what the stages are, what the deliverables are, and so on. I'm still exploring how to use it properly. I'm not the best person to inquire about new features, but it's very impressive, and I'm discovering a lot of great features and capabilities as I use it. I would rate Asana a nine out of ten.

I would suggest looking through their knowledge base. They have a really good knowledge base for different use cases. I would even recommend trying out the trial, which is available for one month. With any tool, you just need to know what your specific needs are. I would rate Asana an eight out of ten because I'm still learning how to use it. It is not a tool that covers everything. It is good for my purpose, and that right now is just tracking the work and collaborating with other folks.
If you are working with a cross-functional team with multiple projects on the go regularly, Asana is a lifesaver. Everything can be shared in one place. Delegation is a breeze. Communication happens in real-time. This product is well suited for teams where different folks are collaborating on assignments and there needs to be a clear outline as to who is working on what. It helps set very transparent expectations for progress and follow up. It may not be necessary for non-collaborative environments.
This is an effective project management tool. While it was difficult to use in the beginning, it is now working great and giving wonderful results. It is really an amazing product and I have nothing bad to say about this tool.
Asana is web-based software-as-a-service that helps teams coordinate and manage their work. It helps companies move faster by making sure everyone knows the team’s plan and process and who is doing what by when.Each user can create projects using a list, board, calendar, or timeline view. Within each project, users can add tasks, subtasks, sections, comments, attachments, start and due dates, and custom fields. Project and task followers get notifications on changes or comments on...
